Unless he's sailing *all the time* ablative paint dies on the
surface. It only comes off and
stays fresh when underway. (self scrubbing - Duh!) It's better for power
boats because they go
fast enough to keep the paint scrubbed and fresh. Sailboats don't go fast
enough and they don't
get used enough. So there! :-)

There is a lot you don't know.

It might take far less time enumerating the things she *does know.*
